So, Did you see John and Joey in their soundcheck? It's great  ... Your autograph is that of the link above that put "Guess"? The "To rock my world" EUROPE 2012? I'm sorry, maybe too many questions  ... but I want to know more details  ... No, my paper is this one: uptiki.altervista.org/viewer.php?file=rw6jvsart0zj8058k31i.jpgAbout the details...well it's been a struggle. I didn't plan to be at Munich. I was supposed to go directly to the airport but we finished the job earlier than expected and somebody from my crew said: let's go for a walk in Munich. Only then I realized that there could be an opportunity to see show at HRC. When we arrived in Munich I simply said hello to the others and went in search of the place. Arrived there around 3 PM and a guy from the HRC said that the band was expected there in half an hour and that the show was supposed to begin moments later. I couldn't believe to be that lucky! It was too good to be true! And it wasn't of course. A lady from the staff informed me that the show would have begun at 8. I had to be at the airport at 6.30 max and I realized that I had to miss it. I walked out very sadly but then I said to myself that maybe there was the chance to see them for a moment at least. So I went back in and waited. The guys arrived at 4 and rushed in the back. Around 4,30 they came out for the soundcheck. During the soundcheck I asked a guy from the staff if there was the chance to have a paper signed. He promised me he would have tried to get it for me. Meanwhile the guys from my crew where outside the HRC waiting for me. We had to go. I waited till the end of the soundcheck. Soon after Joey came out and the guy from the staff gave me the autograph signed. I asked if there was the chance to shake hand with Joey but he said he was gone to...well, you know, sometimes even artists have to do that. He told me I could rush in but I think that would have been too much. I cannot even think to the implications! I told him that I had to be at the airport at 6,30 and he suggested me to run there because I was expected to find a lot of traffic. And he was right. I arrived just in time to take off. Well, that's my story. As I told before I anyway had more than expected. I wasn't supposed to listen to the blues on that day. But I did! |

We have lived through your anxiety ent, divided between staying there with Europe and catching that plane! I well understand how you felt! However you should have gone to the toilet ent!!! At least you had that option, while it couldn't be valid for me...  LOL the beers! So, good for me he was out of the toilet then... I'll call this one "A drink and a smile"  (but hey, mind that no beer was mine there...!  ) imageshack.us/photo/my-images/859/cimg8619.jpg/Cheers! |

I really have to thank Fernanda for the second time about these acoustic sets...first time in Milan and then for Munich yesterday. I attended with kids and also Valeria was there. We had dinner together at the Hard Rock Cafè. Fantastic show with 7-8 songs if I remember correctly: Intro with guitars Not supposed to Sing the blues Rock The Night Superstitious Holiday (Scorpions cover) Demon Head Drink and a smile TFC Question&Answers: I've had my time asking if they plan to add Bag of Bones (the song) to their setlist in the upcoming tour from September on. Answer from Joey was "maybe, they for sure will add other 2 or 3 songs from the new album to those they are already playing in the festivals, Doghouse should be there...basically he left the answer open, not sure but maybe". Sign session: I spoke to Joey presenting him my 3 kids...I also had some pictures... He was fantastic.  I also had a chance to shake hands with John this time. I am on cloud nine right now. Full report as soon as possible! ...heading to Rock of Ages and well, Joey advised my kids to bring water to drink as it's gonna be very hot today  Thank you again, without you Fernanda and Guesswhoo I would have missed this wonderful time! Thank you so much!  Great you were there, michaela. And you asked the right question - from my point of view... |

These are exactly the details that I referred, this forum is good source of information about the band: there are videos, photos, reviews and now we know that "... Joey went to the toilet in Munich ... "  (he is Human After All ...) Sure you will have more opportunities to see the guys and greet them ... I'm still waiting for to take a photo with Norum, and like a sentence of Paulo Coelho says: "When you want something, all the universe conspires to help you get it " so who knows? Maybe someday ... |

Hello Eva, thank you, you're too kind, if you had been there you could have translated how he greeted us at the end...In fact after a while the 2 organizers asked us to leave the room in order to make space for the next group of people...so we hurried up with the pictures and such. At the very end we were rushing away while the next group was entering the room and I heard Joey shouting a greeting to us in Spanish, but I can't tell exactly which one. Then he realized and he shouted at us again "oh no sorry that was Spanish, anyway... see you tomorrow!" Too funny!  |

I guess for Joey the italian and spanish should sound very similar  ... and indeed so, when I've traveled to Italy I speak in spanish more than in english, we can understand if we speak slowly. |

Here's my video from the Hard Rock Cafè acoustic set, not really great quality this time, sorry for that, but a drunken handycam at the end for a beautiful song: "Drink and a Smile", they're doing it so great live!!!  |
